There is no grand message here – except maybe, similar to stop and smell the roses, stop and experience the geese of life. ……. I’ve always taken my children with me to clients… if they wanted to go. [see full-image below] In 1996, I was consulting for Sebastian Haircare in Woodland Hills – the Pyramid […]
Here is the lie: “I don’t care what people think.” also expressed as, “I give zero fucks!” Stop saying this! It’s a lie and you prove that in the saying. You are convincing no one – and those who know this truth can see through your lie. Okay.. you are convincing someone. You are convincing […]
Live streaming a few songs As part of my annoyance with holding back on live video and a number of other goals, I am doing more live streams on Facebook. To date, they’ve been me in the hills with my dogs and playing music. I’ve been launching them from my Facebook profile but realized that […]
